The object of thisinvention broadly is to provide means for delivering the" product of a web printing PIQSSyflZtl? in a predetermined number: of sheets so as toeliminatethe ex- 5 pense and inconvenience of the'stackl'ng and cuttingoperations which would be necessary.

a if the full product of the press were delivered A pract'cal enibodimentof my invention is represented in'the accompanying drawvings, in which v f: V

Fig. l'represents a top plan view of ajfour sheet flatdelivery embodying my invention; Fig.2 represents a front view of the same, and i V Fig 3 delivery. V

The wide web is passed over the feed roll 1 where it is slit longitudinally into two nar- 20 row webs'by'the coaction of the slitter 2 with the said web feed roll 1. Fromthence the represents a side view of the two narrow webs are passed between the feed rolls 3 and 4, under the feed roll 5 'andover the feedroll 6. v

The two narrow webs are then passed laterally in oppesite directions around their 7 respective right and left turning bars 7 and 8,430 and around their respective series of feed rolls 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, 14, 15, 16, to

30 their respective sheet cutting mechanisms herein shown as pairs of coacting rotary cut-1 ters 17, 18 and 19, 20. a

The sheets cut from the right hand'narrow' web by the cutters 17 18 are alternately (16*.'

35 livered laterally in opposite directions to two piles 21, 22 by the endless deliverycarriers 23', 24. Similarly, the sheets cut from the left lhand narrow web by the cutters 19, 20

less delivery carriers 27, 28.

lt' will be understood that any'well known or ppr ved means m y jibe/"employed i are alternately delivered laterally in oppog site directions to two piles 25,26 bythe endternate sheetscut from each narrow'web in opposite'directionsto two piles)? it is therefore not thought necessary to:
